Valuepoint Academy is a premier institution in the IT hub of Bangalore city, offering
courses in Spoken English and Effective Communication Skills. Founded in 1996 by
Mr. Rajan Sood & Mrs. Meenu Sood, it has been imparting comprehensive and
practical training in communicating effectively in the English language. More than
15,000 students have successfully undergone training and many have been absorbed
in prestigious companies and MNCs. Of these, around 2500 students are from variouscountries around the world including Bahrain, France, Germany, Iran, Mongolia,
Saudi Arabia, Sudan , Libya, Yemen, Iraq and Thailand.
The course is supported by Cambridge University press and follows the guidelines
and course material recommended by the Cambridge University press. It prepares
the candidates for International certifications from British Council, like the
Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC) or the Business Language Testing
(BULATS). It also prepares students who are planning to go to Europe, Australia and
US for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination and
the Test of English as a foreign Language (TOEFL).
Why should you learn English? If you’re not based in an English speaking country,
this is a valid question. It is a well established fact today that the internet and other
sophisticated communication facilities have shrunk the world. And, in this new small
world, English has a large part to play in most of our lives. According to a study
conducted by Pearson Education (2007), English is the most widely spoken language
(Chinese being the first), having around 540,000,000 speakers around the world.
Autonomy in language learning is a desirable goal for practical reasons. We, at
Valuepoint Academy, have been striving to put into place mechanisms for promoting
learner autonomy. Accordingly, we have come up with Diploma Course in EnglishLanguage which aims to make participants proactive, and empowers them to develop
an integrated and well adapted language system. Restricting the batch size to a
comfortable 12 - 14, individual attention is assured while still taking care of the needs
of adequate interaction among the participants.
The course is experience based and conducted in a thoroughly interactive
environment that includes discussions, group work, individual assignments, use of
audio & visual equipment. Each participant will be assessed upon registration so that

his / her needs are understood well before the course starts. A comprehensive and
continuous evaluation system will provide the feedback necessary to the student and
the trainer.
